Brad Marchand Opens Up On The Possibility Of Being Booed In Boston in Thursday's Final
The Four Nations Final is set to take place in Boston on Thursday, and now Bruins captain Brad Marchand has addressed the possibility of being booed by Bruins fans in what could be one of the biggest games in the history of the sport.
After victory on Monday, Canada has clinched their spot in the Four Nations Face Off finale against Team USA, with superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon expressing the teams confidence ahead of that game after their win over Finland.
This now all leads to a blockbuster rematch between Team USA and Canada, and with national pride on the line, we've already seen some strange things this tournament, including Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand being cheered by the fans of his arch rival in Montreal.
But what about his return to Boston? That was a question posed to Marchand after Team Canada qualified for the Championship Game, and here is what he had to say about potentially being booed by Bruins fans in Boston.
Unsurprisingly, his response was what you would expect from the 36-year old, as he states that he's prepared for it due to being booed everywhere else by hockey fans, and with the tensions between the US and Canada, it's more likely than not that every fan in the arena wearing the red, white and blue will boo Canadians all night long.
There's going to be many interesting stories coming out of this matchup on Thursday, with the NHL's return to best-on-best an incredible success thus far, and with sub-plots like Marchand in Boston and. the head-to-head rivalry that's brewing in North America, this may be the biggest hockey game in history.
